Nowadays developing internet world we have to learn more about some of the most common security risks, including hacking, phishing and malware and how to protect your sites and servers. Thankfully, many of these hazards can be avoided by making yourself aware of the threats.

Hacking. Someone from another location breaks into your computer remotely to cause damage or steal information. Often this will include the hacker obtaining your personal information or turning your computer into a “zombie” to further their needs. Different hacking techniques include vulnerability scanners, password cracking, packet sniffers, rootkit, trojan horses, and key loggers.

Phishing. When a website is made to look like another website for the purpose of gathering personal information from a user. Phishing usually involves fake emails that appear to come from legitimate enterprises, such as your bank or credit union. These emails contain URLs that link to malicious web pages and will ask you to enter in private information, like passwords, bank account information, or credit card numbers. Attackers can then use the entered information to steal your (or your customers’) identity.

Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner’s informed consent. Its only there to break stuff. There are several types of malware, including computer viruses, worm viruses, spyware, adware, scareware and crimeware. To spread Malware, perpetrators can create malicious websites of their own, exploit a vulnerability in the applications a website relies on or exploit a vulnerability on the web server or its configuration.
Malware is often download from an email attachment or from a suspicious website. However, malware can also infect servers and upload malicious code or web pages that deliver malware to the site’s visitors.

There are a few key practices that can greatly increase your protection from the majority of instances. To protect your sites and servers you should choose strong passwords that can’t be easily guess by computer programs. Additionally, keeping websites up to date with security patches is one of the most important means of protection. Companies often publish patches or security updates that are built to prevent these types of attacks.

Shared hosting means that you literally share your server resources with the other users which are placed on the same hardware with you, but you still have a full access to your dedicated account with your own Internet domain name and a set amount of resources and features. Mostly people use shared hosting for not such big projects or the web sites with very high traffic. If your project is not this big shared hosting might perfectly satisfy all the options for your hosting needs. Shared hosting also might be very good for the beginners. Most individuals, small businesses, medium sized businesses and moderately trafficked web sites will thrive in a shared hosting environment. Well, this is always up to you.

Shared hosting also has some benefits. First of all shared hosting is the least expensive of all paid hosting options. That means it is always affordable and perfect for the budget projects. Another thing is that shared hosting is also very comfortable. All you have to be responsible about is only your own website. Each of users will be allocated a certain amount of bandwidth, disc space and features that you control via your control panel. You won’t have to worry about the things like for example replacing the drivers or upgrading the operating system software. You web hosting company will take care about it. With shared web hosting the provider is responsible for all server maintenance. General maintenance and upgrades to both server hardware and software are the sole responsibility of the host.
